New Shoes - GP7's...

Thought I would share my new wheels... they finally arrived. Look amazing, pictures really don't do them justice. They are silly light too. My wheel guy coulnd't believe how light they are. Fitment is spot on, quality is too. Great set of wheels.

Thank you to PES - turned out perfect.



Number two...



Number Three...



Number Four...

Those look really nice! It's nice to see something different for a change. What's the weight on those?

I seriously considered these on the Group Buy but didn't want to use spacers on the GT2, if they'd have come in GT2 sizes and offsets they would have been on my car now.

Congrats, without doubt the sexiest wheel by far for the 996 IMO.

Nice wheels! IMO it looks similar to the AMV8 but it looks so sexy on your car!

Those wheels do look really nice! I've always thought that 7 was the right number of spokes for single spoke wheels like yours. 5 isn't enough, and the even number spoke wheels (6 and 8) just don't look right to me.

They are 19's. My understanding is, they are made by Champion at PES specs at Champion's facility in Japan.

19x8.5 and 19x11.5

I was looking for something a bit different, light and without the lip. They really make the hips of these cars look even wider. Very menacing looking
